update to this story (below) from earlier----Barnes will stay at Tennessee (9:30 p.m. on 4/8/19)
Sources tell me that @RickBarnesUT has decided to remain as @Vol_Hoops’ head coach after UCLA came after him with a lucrative offer that would have paid him $5 million per year. Barnes finalized his decision to stay at Tennessee on Monday after the Vols countered with a new deal.

April 9, 2019 UCLA is reportedly targeting Tennessee Head Coach Rick Barnes for their open basketball coaching position. Barnes apparently met with Athletic Director Phil Fulmer and he's now "praying about it".
This feels like one of those deals where you get more money from Tennessee and decide to stay in Knoxville. But we’ll see. https://t.co/itidsLBLKW
